You need to install ispell.exe or aspell.exe.  One of those (I think
it's aspell) comes with cygwin.

Here's what the FAQ has to say:


Q5.4.5: XEmacs complains "No such file or directory, diff"
----------------------------------------------------------

or "ispell" or other commands that seem related to whatever you just
tried to do (M-x ediff or M-$, for example).

   There are a large number of common (in the sense that "everyone has
these, they really do") Unix utilities that are not provided with
XEmacs.  The GNU Project's implementations are available for Windows in
the the Cygwin distribution (`http://www.cygwin.com/'), which also
provides a complete Unix emulation environment (and thus makes ports of
Unix utilities nearly trivial).  Another implementation is that from
MinGW (`http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml').  If you know of others,
please let us know!

HTH,
